Melbourne Global climate strike on Sep 20, 2019 had well over 100,000 people attending in Treasury Gardens and a 1.2km march through the streets of Melbourne, being the largest climate protest in Australia to date, and rivalling the anti-war protests in 2003 and the Vietnam Moratorium in 1970.
The action theme......there was no real action for me today. I went out taking photos with a group of friends and forgot to take a selfie while we were out.
So here I am, in action, on the phone with Naomi.
Beverly Hills 90210 is on in the background.
2B Living was less attentive this second time around. They sent someone days later to figure out what had occurred, probably to appease their insurance needs, but never addressed the damages to the property, drying out the moisture, or staving off mold. I handled that myself.
We have some very small guests because of overly friendly termites. They look like you and me but operate under different rules. For instance this little one is fond of sucker punching. We have stopped picking up the little pugilist.

Lumière, lumière, lumière. Sans elle, nos photos ne seraient rien. Un moment contemplatif dans un grange impressionnante mais abandonnée et qui vit ses dernières années.

Les Mains Blanches / White Hands.
These photos were taken of the Mains Blanches/White Hands protest on the 19th of April 2008 at the Hôtel-de-Ville (Town Hall) in Paris, France - to denounce the inaction and corruption of those in power & in support of the hostages held in Colombia.
July 2008 saw the rescue of Ingrid Betancourt and 14 other political hostages by the Colombian Army from the FARC guerrilla forces. Naturally, this was wonderful news to those fighting for the release of all the hostages held in Colombia, but there remain close to 2000 people being held in that country.
I would like to believe that the actions of the ordinary citizens who fought to bring the hostages' plight to the eyes of the world; made a difference and encouraged those in positions of real power to take action. Of course, more needs to be done to bring a final and positive resolution to the crisis in Colombia.
I would like to strongly encourage all those who believe in humanitarian and human rights issues (whichever they may be) to take personal action. Of course each individual has varying amounts of time and effort to afford, yet each act counts and is vital. The day I am writing this is the 19th of January 2009 and is Martin Luther King Day in the U.S. In this world the political, financial and communitarian interests of many of those who hold real power to bring change are counter to the lives of the weakest and the oppressed in our societies - those who want to bring real change need to act together today for a better and more just world. Tomorrow shall always be too late....
